Did you ever make a Windows7 system image. If yes, it probably picked that drive because it was the most obvious.
Open the drive and see what files are on it. Post them here.

Disk 0 has an OS but Disk 1 probably used to have an OS but doesn't any longer.
I'd guess that Disk 1 was an old HP OS disk.
If Disk 1 was purchased new then some operation has been performed on it. Did you do anything to it? eg. attempt a clone?

I'm not sure. Some time back when I was operating VISTA I recall installing a backup application "BounceBack Ultimate" which did require a dedicated disk. After a couple of disasters, I removed the application and Disk1 may be the remnant. Otherwise, I can only attribute it to my upgrade to Windows 7.

Whatever is on L, you can probably delete. On R, you seem to have an image. But what about F where you had the problem.

I'm not sure. What I think happened is this. To identify which of my external drives was disk 1 I temporarily disconnected one of the external drives then reconnected it. Apparently the disk manager reassigned drive letters and What was drive F now is drive R. F drive no longer shows up under "my computer"

Understand. As I said, delete the "L" stuff. The files on "R" must have come about from imaging. Only you would know when that happened and whether you want to keep it. You can always delete it and create a new image - if that's what you want.
But if you go into imaging, I would highly recommend you use free Macrium or free Paragon in lieu of Win7 imaging. Imaging with free Macrium
